Australians are on the edge of their seats tonight as they await the verdict of the 2022 World Cup bid.

Football's world governing body, FIFA, will announce the winning bids for the 2018 and 2022 events in Zurich around 1:00am (AEDT).

Australia is bidding for the 2022 Cup, but the United States and Qatar are widely believed to be the favourites.

Elle Macpherson, Paul Hogan, Prime Minister Julia Gillard and an animated kangaroo all featured in the final presentation to FIFA delegates in Australia's push to host the Cup.

Ms Gillard says Australia has put forward a great bid.

"Like many Australians, I'm going to be sitting on the edge of my seat tonight in my pyjamas watching the coverage come through very, very late at night," she said.

"I'm very excited to see the result."

Ms Gillard says FIFA should remember that Australia has already put on the best Olympics ever.

"And what we can say as a nation is Australia put on the best Olympics ever - we can put on the best World Cup ever," she said.

Australia's final video presentation copped some criticism for its plot, which saw a kangaroo steal the World Cup and travel around Australia, bumping into a host of Aussie identities, before being apprehended by a Mad Max-style-dressed Hogan.

But Ms Gillard says the presentation is fitting.

"I'm proud of that Aussie imagery," she said.

"I think when people overseas think of Australia, they do think of kangaroos and so to weave a kangaroo comedy script around the World Cup, showing some of the great iconic places in Australia, I think was a good idea."
